Millions of U.S. workers are injured on the job every year. If you are one of them, remember the following steps:

Report the accident immediately. Tell a supervisor or HR representative.

Seek medical attention. Tell your doctor exactly what happened.

Find out the name of your employer’s insurance carrier.

If your doctor provides you with a “no work/restricted” work order, provide it to your employer.

Do not give a statement to the workers compensation insurance carrier.

Do not sign a medical record release authorization.

Do not discuss your injuries, accident, or workers comp claim at work.

Keep a diary about how you are feeling, any medications or therapies you try, and all your doctor appointments and phone calls.
